Time of harvest, painted from memories of October.


Painting, Nahuatl text, Spanish text by Tomas Jimenez from Guerrero who
has many happy memories of life in the countryside.

Spanish: Es tiempo de la sega
Ahora hombres y mujeres empieza a recojer la cosecha, trabajando en el campo. Es el mes de octubre cuando la gente empieza a cortar el ajojonli. Se apoyan todo la familia para el trabajo.
